I'm in a similar situation. I want to see how (if?) it runs on a steam deck before I decide where to buy it. Otherwise I'd have already pre-ordered it.

Run for mayor (or local equivalent), win, and then push for/implement a bunch of rules that make the town inhospitable to tourists.

I assume the tourism brings in money to the local community, yeah? Cutting off that income will probably mean you won't be able to win the next subsequent election, so act fast.

with easily accessible technology people don't retain the skills that are supplemented by that technology.

Isn't this the point of technology?

We don't even know how they arrive at the output they arrive at, and it takes lengthy research just to find out how, say, an LLM picks the next word in an arbitrarily chosen sentence fragment. And that's for the simpler models! (Like GPT-2)

That's pretty crazy when you think about it.

So, I don't think it's fair to suggest they're just "a new type of app". I'm not sure what "revolutionary" really means but the technology behind the generative AI is certainly going to be applied elsewhere.

It's anecdotal but I have found that the people who are "skeptical" (to use your word) about generative AI often turn out to be financially dependent on something that generative AI can do.

That it to say, they're worried it will replace them at their job and so they very much want it to fail.

As the saying goes: The solution to pollution is dilution.

How would that work, do you think? I agree with your premise, so you don't need to worry about that part.

[–] joe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You probably mean median, right?

But I meant an official one.

If curious if "affordable housing" has an actual definition? Like is there some formula that we could use?

[–] joe 2 points 1 year ago

This is probably right. LLMs can be used as a replacement for people (well, almost), or it can be used as a tool for people. Where that line is will be crucial.

I also don't think it's the same kind of """AI""" as the kind that would be used to recreate a person's likeness. That's almost certainly going to be covered under copyright. (I bring this up because the article mentions it).

And even if there somehow is no line and any script written even partially by an AI cannot be copyrighted (unlikely I think) then the resulting film is still eligible for copyright protections.

.. but he still has a sentencing hearing. It's right in the title. This conspiracy theory doesn't hold up at all.

You should back those things up with more than "because I said so" is what you should do.
